Interested to see if they actually talk about building retrofits. Hope is great, but the real hurdle is always the cost of heat pumps and insulation for older homes in these districts.

That is the main gap. Local events usually focus on awareness, but without a clear subsidy or procurement path, most homeowners just can't afford the transition.

If these communities start pushing for mass electrification of heat, I wonder if the local distribution network has the capacity. Usually, these plans ignore the grid bottleneck.
